Ideas for storing toys in the nursery

Depending on what exactly needs to be cleaned, different ideas for storing toys are used. Plush toys, educational games and toy cars, of course, should be stored differently.

In a large nursery, of course, it is much easier to place spacious and convenient storage for everything you need than in a small one. But even in a room of the most modest size, you can equip quite suitable structures for placing trains and dolls, designers and coloring books.

Toy storage options

• Rack

A good idea for storing toys in a nursery is to line up a shelving unit along a wall or as a partition between functional areas if space permits. Special containers for toys are placed at the bottom of the rack, these can be baskets, boxes or pull-out containers. In the middle part you can place a TV, and in the upper part you can arrange wardrobes for things that are rarely used.

• Baskets

A very nice option is to store toys in the child's room in wicker baskets. They can be placed on top of the cabinet if it is short. If the child does not reach the top of the cabinet, this is not a reason to refuse such a design. In the baskets, you can put those toys that he temporarily does not use.

You can hang shelves on the wall and put baskets on top of them to store toys. Such shelves, in addition to the main function, will also serve as a kind of decor for the nursery. An important plus: toys are always visible, you don't have to look for them. Minus - soft toys in this version will collect dust. Also baskets can be placed in cabinets, on shelves or left as separate elements.

• Organizers

These storages are specially designed, and consist of two parts: the frame and the containers that are inserted into it. You can buy ready-made organizers, for example, at IKEA, or made to order. Frames can be wooden, metal, plastic, and containers, as a rule, are made of bright plastic and look quite decorative. One of the main advantages of such a system is its low price.

• Chests

Chests have been used since ancient times. It is convenient, and in the case of using chests made of wood or leather for storing toys in a children's room, it is also stylish. A more budgetary option is plastic chests of various sizes. They can also be colorful.

• Pockets

Among the ideas for storing toys, the simplest is to sew wall pockets for them from thick fabric or even polyethylene. The size of these pockets can be any, depending on what you plan to store in them. Sewn from beautiful fabric, they will decorate the interior.

• Bed

Toy storage can be solved with pull-out drawers placed under the bed. There are several options: either buy a ready-made bed equipped with such boxes, or make custom boxes and place them under an existing bed.

Many children like to sleep “on the second floor”, climbing up the stairs to the bed.In this case, in the lower tier, you can arrange a workplace for the child, and surround it with lockers for storing toys. Such sleeping places “in the attic” are very attractive for children of all ages.

• Bench

Toy storage systems in a child's room can be combined with other items, especially in a small nursery. If you equip a bench under the window, under which you place the drawers - either pull-out, on wheels, or sliding along the guides - you get a very cozy place to relax and at the same time - a place where it is convenient to put away toys and where they can be easily obtained.

• Boxes on wheels

Another great idea. All that is needed is a wooden box, castor wheels, skateboard or old furniture. With the help of such a storage box, it will be convenient for a child to transport toys from one room to another.
